Uniform long length Ag clad monofilamentary BSCCO tapes have been prod
uced by the powder in tube method making use of drawing, cold rolling
and annealing processes. The influence of the starting BSCCO powders,
packing method and Ag addition on BSCCO/Ag superconducting tapes have
been analyzed using XRD and scanning electron microscopy combined with
EDX and Image Analysis. In addition, extensive electrical transport m
easurements have been carried out, Average values of J(c) approximate
to 12 kA/cm(2) with a dispersion of +/- 5% over al m length have been
obtained.
